Abstract

Aerodynamically augmented hockey puck design uses the dynamics of airflow around a moving body to assist in overcoming the unwanted forces of friction that inherently exist between two opposing surfaces and may be used on either an ice or other non-ice playing surface. The puck influences airflow through a symmetric ducted venting system designed to duct or vent air from multiple inlets to opposing outlets. The ducted venting system creates a pressure differential between upper and lower surfaces thereby reducing unwanted forces of friction. Circular center pocket cavities of the upper and lower planar surfaces of the hockey puck are vented to the opposite edge of the outer cylindrical surface of the hockey puck. Elliptical air channels extend radially from the circular center pocket cavity and are symmetrically placed around the outer cylindrical surface of the puck.
